FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IN NEW YORK + NORTHERN VIRGINIA

Photographs of the people you love, in the years that move too quickly.

The big smiles, but also the in-between.
Capturing light, colors and love.

BEHIND THE CAMERA

A calm presence, a little direction, and plenty of room to be yourselves.

Hi, I’m Alex — a photographer, actor, and mother of two.

I love the big smiles, but I’m always watching for what happens in between: the hand reaching for yours, the full-body laugh, the quiet look, the toddler making a break for it.

I’ll give you enough direction to feel comfortable, then leave room for your family to move, play, connect, and just be together. It may be funny, tender, a little chaotic — but that is usually where the magic is.

Thank you for letting me into your world and trusting me to photograph your family as you are. The big smiles and all.
